The Hungover Down Under - Neatorama

Oh, the things you do when you're drunk. Jill told us about the Saga of Dirk The Penguin, who was stolen from Australia's Sea World one night. Now, we find out how it happened:

Reporter: Early sunday morning, three hungover friends woke to find a penguin in their living room.
Man: Hello Mr. Penguin ... I can't believe we stole a penguin
Penguin: Bwa bwa bwa bwa bwa ...

It's The Hangover ... in real life. The only thing missing is Mike Tyson: Hit play or go to Link [YouTube]

This is a lot better than the atrocities that Sea World commits daily.

No. they let the penguin loose at a creek/lake (or something like that) almost got attacked by a big fish. Then got chased by a dog. Not cool, at least the Hangover they returned the tiger to Mike Tyson. Penguin was raised in capitivity, so it does not have the skills to survive outside of Sea World. I'm glad these guys are in trouble. It was stupid.

Alcohol, once again you have betrayed faithful consumers by getting them into trouble.

The socialist utopias of Europe seem to have no problem charging for the use of their WCs. Coin operated seems a wee bit crass and very obtrusive when you really really really have to go, so no wonder it is hated in the US. They should've copied the European version, with a grumpy old woman grunting incomprehensibly whenever you get out of the WC without putting something on the "tip" plate.

There is an old song called "Babylon Mall" about our local shopping mall by a comedy troupe (it's on YouTube). One of the lines is "you pays to pee at the mall" lol. You don't pay to pee there anymore but I do remember when the pay toilets were there. I think they removed them in the early nineties.

In Russia, toilet pays you!

Wonder if when they started abolishing pay toilets, they used the Beatles song "You Never Give Me Your Money" as it's theme. Likely not since it was a Paul song and not a JOHN song.

There are still some places in the US where you must pay to "go" - as Eddie says, they make you pay for a token. Last time I was in the Casino in Seaside Heights it was still the case there - still worth the money if you've had too much coconut cream pie...

New York outlawed pay toilets in '75 alright, but waived that rule for NYC in '93. Now there are plenty of em around. Not exactly a recent development, and deserving a mention.

It's a weird idea, isn't it? You pay, but less than it really costs, and get the hassle of needing to have change in a hurry. And in exchange for the .25-$1 or so, the locale risks having to clean up human waste off the walls and floor.
